20th May : 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
In January, the TCPA held a popular event for local authorities that were considering the impacts of the 13 December 2023 Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) on ‘Planning – Local Energy Efficiency Standards Update.’ Industry leaders and local authorities are deeply concerned about the impact of this WMS on the ability of local authorities to meet their net zero commitments.
The TCPA, supported by the Good Homes Alliance and a coalition of industry organisations, are hosting a follow up webinar on 20 May 2024 for local authorities that are affected by this WMS or concerned about its impact on their plans for addressing climate change through planning policy.
The webinar will include an update on the legal challenge to the WMS, and you will hear from local authorities and expert consultants about how ambitious policies for net zero homes are being advanced in the context of the WMS.
